Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive For the relationship with EU Directive see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) This standard forms Part 3-1 of the EN 50121 series published under the general title “Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility” The series consists of: — Part 1: General; — Part 2: Emission of the whole railway system to the outside world; — Part 3-1: Rolling stock - Train and complete vehicle; — Part 3-2: Rolling stock – Apparatus; — Part 4: Emission and immunity of the signalling and telecommunications apparatus; — Part 5: Emission and immunity of fixed power supply installations and apparatus BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Introduction High power electronic equipment, together with low power microcontrollers and other electronic devices, are being installed on trains in great numbers Electromagnetic compatibility has therefore become a critical issue for the design of train-related apparatus as well as of the train as a whole This Product Standard for rolling stock sets limits for electromagnetic emission and immunity in order to ensure a well functioning system within its intended environment Immunity limits are not given for the complete vehicle EN 50121-3-2 defines requirements for the apparatus installed in the rolling stock, since it is impractical to test the complete unit An EMC plan includes equipment covered by this standard BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Scope This European Standard specifies the emission and immunity requirements for all types of rolling stock It covers traction stock, hauled stock and trainsets including urban vehicles for use in city streets This European standard specifies the emission limits of the rolling stock to the outside world The scope of this part of the standard ends at the interface of the rolling stock with its respective energy inputs and outputs In the case of locomotives, trainsets, trams etc., this is the current collector (pantograph, shoe gear) In the case of hauled stock, this is the AC or DC auxiliary power connector However, since the current collector is part of the traction stock, it is not entirely possible to exclude the effects of this interface with the power supply line The slow moving test has been designed to minimize these effects There may be additional compatibility requirements within the railway system identified in the EMC plan (e.g as specified in EN 50238) Basically, all apparatus to be integrated into a vehicle meet the requirements of EN 50121-3-2 In exceptional cases, where apparatus meets another EMC Standard, but full compliance with EN 50121-3-2 is not demonstrated, EMC is ensured by adequate integration measures of the apparatus into the vehicle system and/or by an appropriate EMC analysis and test which justifies deviating from EN 50121-3-2 Electromagnetic interference concerning the railway system as a whole is dealt with in EN 50121-2 These specific provisions are to be used in conjunction with the general provisions in EN 50121-1 The frequency range considered is from Hz (DC) to 400 GHz No measurements need to be performed at frequencies where no requirement is specified Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application For dated references, only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies EN 50121-2:2017, Railway applications - Electromagnetic compatibility - Part 2: Emission of the whole railway system to the outside world EN 55016-1-1:2010+A2:2014,

Terms, definitions and abbreviations Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply 3.1.1 traction stock electric and diesel locomotive, high speed trainset, elementary fixed combination of traction stock and hauled stock, electric and diesel multiple unit (no locomotive, distributed traction equipment), Light Railway Vehicle (LRV) such as tram, trolley bus or any other electrical vehicle for urban mass transit, underground trainset BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) 3.1.2 hauled stock independent passenger coaches and freight wagons

converters QP Quasi-Peak xDSL all types of digital subscriber lines Applicability Generally, it is not possible to test electromagnetic compatibility invoking every function of the rolling stock The tests shall be made at typical operating modes considered to produce the largest emission The typical operating mode shall require all systems to be energised which are normally in continuous operation during service It is not necessary during the test to exercise systems which operate transiently such as for example operation of internal doors, although they should be energised It is not necessary to test degraded modes of operation The configuration and mode of operation shall be specified in the test plan and the actual conditions during the tests shall be precisely noted in the test report Immunity requirements No tests are applied to the complete vehicle It is expected that the assembly of the apparatus into a complete vehicle will give adequate immunity, provided that an EMC plan has been prepared and implemented, taking into account the requirements in EN 50121-3-2 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Emission tests and limits 6.1 General The emission tests and limits for rolling stock in this standard should ensure as far as possible that the rolling stock does not interfere with typical installations in the vicinity of the railway system Measurements shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions It is not possible to totally separate the effects of the railway system and the stock under test For radiated emissions, the test conditions are defined in 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 NOTE Signalling and communication, train radio and other railway systems (axle counters, track circuits, train control systems, etc.) are different in every country in terms of operating frequencies and waveforms Therefore, compatibility requirements are specified according to the type of signalling and communication systems used (see e.g EN 50238 series) NOTE There may be cases in which radio or other railway external services with working frequencies below 150 kHz are in operation close to the railway The EMC management plan covers these cases and an adequate level of emission from the railway on these working frequencies may be found in the values given in informative Annex C hence no guarantee can be given for an undisturbed operation 6.2 6.2.1 Interference on outside party telecommunication lines Digital telecommunication lines Interference with digital systems such as PCM, ISDN, xDSL are not covered in this European Standard NOTE It should be noted that these systems operate in a higher frequency range using multiple carriers and various automatic error correction protocols It is considered unlikely that rolling stock can produce sufficient interference in this frequency range 6.2.2 Analogue telecommunication lines No harmonized limits apply Information about interference on telecommunication lines can be found in Annex A 6.3 6.3.1 Radiated electromagnetic disturbances Test site It can be assumed, that measurements will not take place in laboratory conditions Trees, walls, bridges, tunnels or other conductive objects in the vicinity of the measurement antenna could have an impact on the measurement Other railway vehicles operating in the same feeding section or nearby the measuring point may affect the measurement result Overhead/third rail discontinuities as well as substations, power lines, buried lines, transformers, neutral sections, section insulators etc close to the measuring point may cause additional variations These influences shall be reduced as far as practical but in any case no obstacles above rail level which may influence the measurements shall be located between antenna and EUT The overhead/third rail should be a continuous line as far as practical on both sides of the measurement point (typically at least 200 m) Since it is impossible to avoid the support masts of the overhead, the measurement point shall be at the midpoint between masts, on the opposite side of the track (in case of a double track, on the side of the track which is being used) If the railway system is powered by a third rail, the antenna shall be on the same side of the track (worst case) Since resonances may occur in the overhead line at radio-frequencies, it may be necessary to change the test site The exact location of the test site and features of both the site and the overhead system layout shall be noted BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) The contribution of the substation may be considered when assessing the emissions from the vehicle Note that the contribution of a DC substation depends on its load current and will not be measured properly in a no-load condition At the beginning and at the end of the test series the ambient noise shall be recorded This measurement shall be done without any influence of the vehicle If at specific frequencies or in specific frequency ranges the ambient noise is higher than the limit values less dB, the measurements at these frequencies need not be considered These frequencies shall be noted in the test report NOTE It may be helpful to perform this ambient noise measurement also with the vehicle completely powered down in front of the antenna 6.3.2 Test conditions The tests shall cover the operation of all systems onboard the rolling stock which may produce radiated emissions Hauled stock (a representative version) shall be tested while stationary in an energised mode (auxiliary converters, battery chargers, etc in operation) The antenna should be sited opposite the equipment expected to produce the greatest emissions at the frequencies under measurement Tests for identical coaches or wagons are performed only once Traction stock shall be tested while stationary and at slow moving speed During the stationary test, the auxiliary converters shall operate (it is not inevitably under maximum load conditions that the maximum emission level is produced) and the traction converters shall be under voltage but not operating The antenna shall be in front of the middle of each vehicle unless an alternative location is expected to produce higher emission levels For the slow moving test, the speed shall be low enough to avoid arcing at or bouncing of the sliding contact and high enough to allow for electric braking The recommended speed range is (20 ± 5) km/h for urban vehicles and (50 ± 10) km/h for main line vehicles When passing the antenna, the vehicle shall accelerate or decelerate with approximately 1/3 of its maximum tractive effort within the given speed range The slow moving test may be replaced by a stationary test with the vehicle operating at 1/3 of its maximum tractive effort against the mechanical brakes, if the following conditions are fulfilled: — the traction equipment can be operated while the vehicle is stationary; — tests of electric braking are not required, if no different circuits are used in braking If the slow moving test is replaced by a stationary test with tractive effort, then the slow moving limits shall be applied Any vehicles using onboard energy storage for traction shall use the test procedure and limits for slow moving test for the charging process NOTE Slow moving test procedure and limits are used for the charging process (for traction energy storing devices) because it has a short duration with high energy transfer BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) 6.3.3 Emission limits Figure — Limits for stationary test (QP, 10 m) The limits are defined as quasi-peak values and the bandwidths are those used in EN 55016-1-1: Bandwidth Frequencies from 150 kHz to 30 MHz kHz (bw 1) Frequencies from 30 MHz to GHz 120 kHz (bw 2) All values are measured at a distance of 10 m from the centre of the track The emission limits are specified up to GHz due to the fact that there are no significant sources of interference above 1GHz and that emissions from microprocessor controlled equipment which may give rise to emissions at frequencies greater than GHz are addressed by compliance with EN 501213-2 10 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Figure — Limits for slow moving test (Peak, 10 m) For details of test procedure, see Annex B All values measured at a distance of 10 m from the centre of the track in peak values For diesel and diesel electric locomotives and multiple units, the emission limits of Figure (“other rail vehicles”) and B in Figure shall apply unless specific measures dictate otherwise (e.g usage in lower voltage electrified lines) The emission limits are specified up to GHz due to the fact that there are no significant sources of interference above 1GHz and that emissions from microprocessor controlled equipment which may give rise to emissions at frequencies greater than GHz are addressed by compliance with EN 501213-2 11 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Annex A (informative) Interference on telecommunication lines A.1 Harmonics in the traction current A.1.1 General The harmonics in the traction current of a railway system may induce noise in a conventional analogue telecommunication system The acceptable level of noise on conventional analogue telephone lines is specified by ITU-T The value of this noise is measured with a psophometric filter The relationship between the current absorbed or generated by the traction vehicle and the noise in the telephone line is neither under the total control of the vehicle manufacturer nor of the operator of the network Thus, it is in the responsibility of the purchaser of the tractive stock in accordance with the rules of the Infrastructure manager to specify a frequency weighted current limit at the vehicle interface One method commonly used is to specify the psophometric current Ipso which has a psophometrical frequency weighting The background and application of this method is described in this Annex As it is known that the Ipso method does not fully represent the noise effect of the harmonics in the kHz range, alternative methods of frequency weighting may be specified by the purchaser A.1.2 Relationship between currents in railway system and noise on telecommunication lines Conventional telecom copper cables in the vicinity of electrified railway lines are subject to electromagnetic disturbances caused by the currents in the railway system These disturbances result in induced longitudinal voltages ranging from the frequency of the fundamental wave to higher frequency harmonics Sources of the harmonics are converters applied within the traction equipment of the traction stock and/or in the power supply station Due to imbalances in the cable itself, these longitudinal voltages translate to transverse voltages or noise The relationship between the current absorbed by the traction vehicle and the noise on the telecom line is neither under the total control of the vehicle manufacturer nor of the railway and telecommunication network operators This relationship depends on: the structure of the telecom cables — shielding, isolation to ground, balance of the cable; the characteristics of the telecom terminals — susceptibility, input balance; the topology of the telecom network — length of parallel sections of the telecom line to the tracks; — the distance between tracks and telecom lines; — the earth-resistivity; 12 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) the topology of the railway network — single/double track; the type of power supply of the catenary — AC/DC; — substation ripple (DC rectifiers or AC 16,7 Hz static converters in some cases); — type of catenary and feeder system (e.g × 25 kV or × 25 kV); — application of return conductors; — single-end or double-end supply of the section under consideration; the density of train circulation; the current absorption and generation of harmonics of the traction rolling stock; the kind of harmonics superposition from a number of converters A.2 Psophometric current definition The psophometric current is an equivalent disturbance current, which represents the effective disturbance of a current spectrum in a power circuit to a telephone line It is defined by the formula: Ipso = p800 ∑( p f I f )² (A.1) where If is the current component at frequency f in the contact line current pf is the psophometric weighting The values of pf may be found in the ITU-T Directive "Protection of telecommunications lines against harmful effects from electrical power and electrified railway lines, ITU-T O.41 and ITU-T K.68” For measurement purposes, voltage and ampere meters which automatically calculate the signal according to these values of pf by means of a psophometric filter are available A.3 Limits and test conditions It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify the maximum value of the psophometric current, and the conditions under which it is defined, including duration The following conditions are covered: Limits of Ipso under normal and under reduced performance conditions (one or more traction converters temporarily out of service) In the case of DC supply: — DC railways are normally fed by diode rectifiers from the 3-phase mains supply Ideally, a single bridge rectifier produces a 6-pulse shape of voltage (i.e first harmonic at 300 Hz in a 50 Hz mains) or two bridges produce a 12-pulse shape (i.e 600 Hz) Due to imbalances in the rectifier and due to induction, a fundamental component at 50 Hz is commonly found 13 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) — The presence of filters in the substation greatly reduces the effect of the substation — Nevertheless, in DC systems, the substation is the main source of perturbation — Thus, to qualify a traction vehicle, the contribution of the rectifier unit and filters of the fixed installation are relevant — It is also necessary to take into account the distance between the traction vehicle and the substation which affects the line inductance In the case of AC supply: — If the line voltage distortion has to be taken into consideration, the essential harmonics have to be specified If special resonance conditions in the catenary system are relevant, it is necessary to specify the relevant data Otherwise the situation of the vehicle nearest to the supply station is assumed to give the highest value Ipso A.4 Measurement of the psophometric current During acceptance tests or investigation tests, the disturbance current Ipso is measured on board the traction vehicle Existing current sensors of the vehicle may be used, if their frequency response is sufficient (at least up to kHz) The current is measured at the high voltage input of the vehicle and not on the ground side The psophometric current is measured by means of a psophometer or another adequate system which uses filtering according to the psophometric weighting factor pf To obtain additional information about the composition of the spectrum and the sources of disturbance, the use of a dual channel spectrum analyser, applied to vehicle input current and input voltage, is strongly recommended The psophometric current is measured in normal and in reduced operation mode (not all converters operating) The interpretation of the measurement results takes into consideration the influence of operating conditions as well as changes in line inductance and supply voltage Effects due to transients (switching in the power circuits, pantograph bouncing, third rail/fourth rail gaps etc.) are out of the evaluation A.5 Calculation of the overall psophometric current of a trainset A.5.1 Current of one tractive unit A.5.1.1 General Typically, the total current of a trainset is not available Instead of installing a special measuring system which can generate an image of the total current from sensors distributed over the whole trainset, it is normally sufficient to pick up the current of one tractive unit of the trainset If the psophometric current is being measured at one power terminal of a trainset and this trainset has "n“ terminals, the total current is calculated according to the following rules 14 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) A.5.1.2 DC systems DC railways are normally fed by diode rectifiers from the three phase supply If no special filters are applied, the ripple of the rectifier output contributes considerably to the psophometric current absorbed by vehicles in the supply section — DC systems with dominating rectifier ripple (Vehicles with camshaft control; vehicles with chopper or inverter control, substation with 6-pulse rectifier without filtering) Ipso (total) = n x Ipso (one unit) — DC systems with converters on the vehicle and low rectifier ripple Ipso (total) may be less than Ipso (one unit), for choppers operating in interlaced mode Ipso (total) = n x Ipso (one unit), for choppers operating without synchronisation or for inverters directly connected to the power supply A.5.1.3 AC systems The psophometric current generated by vehicles in the supply section depends mainly on the type of converter used on board the vehicle — AC systems with phase controlled converters Ipso (total) = n x Ipso (one unit) This seems to be based on a statistical mix of vehicle types, speeds and actual current consumption But recent experience with high power trainsets shows that this n-law is not applicable in the case of equal speeds, equal power and equal vehicle types, when Ipso (total) = n x Ipso (one unit) applies — AC systems with quadrant converters (4QC, pulse width modulated line converter) Ipso (total) may be less than Ipso operating condition) (one unit), if 4QC depends on the interlacing mode used (normal Ipso (total) = n x Ipso (one unit), if n equal units operate in non-interlaced mode 15 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Annex B (normative) Radiated electromagnetic disturbances - Measurement procedure B.1 Purpose This Annex describes a measurement method for evaluation and qualification of a complete railway vehicle or train concerning the noise generated in the range 150 kHz to GHz It fulfils most of the EN 50121-2:2016 measurement method recommendations but provides simplified features which significantly reduce the whole test duration B.2 Measuring equipment and test method To reduce test duration, the frequency scanning technique is used This can be done either by a spectrum analyser or a computer controlled receiver Each frequency range is divided into several subranges Each evaluation of a train or a vehicle consists in doing a test of each subrange The apparatus shall scan this subrange continuously and memorize the maximum values reached during the test This can be achieved by the "peak hold“ function or under computer control of the apparatus This method assumes that the level and characteristics of electromagnetic noise not vary significantly during each scan The position, location, type and other features concerning the antennas are the same as described in EN 50121-2:2016, Clause The measuring apparatus shall be in accordance with the requirements described in EN 55016-1-1:2010+A2:2014, Clause 5: “Peak measuring receivers for the frequency range kHz to 18 GHz“ Table B.1 may be used as a guideline for the test: Table B.1 — Guideline for test Band B C/D 16

(informative) Emission values for lower frequency range In the early 1990s, measurements of emission from railway systems and railway vehicles were undertaken to get information about the values to be expected in the neighbourhood of railway systems It was experienced that in particular the results of magnetic field measurements, at 10m distance, gave a poor reproducibility for frequencies below 150 kHz due to several reasons Due to the large variation in measured value (up to 20 dB) on the same vehicle depending on the location and other circumstances the reproducibility cannot be achieved and the usefulness is in question Since these emission values were published in the first editions of EN 50121-3-1 the graphs are shown in this informative annex without being a requirement to be fulfilled Figure C.1 — Emission values for stationary rolling stock 17 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN 50121-3-1:2017 (E) Figure C.2 — Emission values for slow moving rolling stock 18 BS EN 50121-3-1:2017 EN
